Indian actress Tina Desai, who debuted on American TV with Sense 8, says she has received an “overwhelming” response for her role.

For the show, which premiered on online streaming service Netflix on June 5, Desai has slipped into the role of woman who goes against society’s barriers.

“I’ve been getting such an overwhelming response from all parts of the world about the show. People have been watching the entire season in one day, and so many have watched it more than twice already and it hasn’t been even a week since the release. The show and all its characters have got a fantastic response,” Desai said in a statement.

She claims the audience has been asking for the second season of the show already.

“It is fantastic and overwhelming and thrilling that the show has found its audience who completely swear by it. I couldn’t ask for more,” added the 28 year old, who was last seen in British comedy-drama film The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Sense 8 revolves around eight strangers from different parts of the world who suddenly become mentally and emotionally linked. Indian actor Anupam Kher also features in the show.
